On Purpose

With purpose of heart
Today
I will say good-bye before I say hello
To that which will bring death

With purpose of heart
I will choose your way O God, not mine
As I take each breath
In hope
Of a life lived with love to spare
For all
Because you first loved me

With purpose of heart
I choose to live out your purpose in me.
Even when
Life seems without purpose.



Each of us must face our own moments of decision. Where our choices make or break us.
The poem above is part of my poetry journal "Letting Go of Cockatoo Dreams"

Act 11:23Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.

Singing Encouragement-Overcoming Fear

Never forget God loves you, we all have opportunity to start again, to call upon His name. Sometimes, obedience involves vulnerability. Mine. Overcoming fear. I am singing 🎶 with Jeremy Camp’s song “Getting Started” ~Debbie Prayer: Father God, thank you for the wooing of your Holy Spirit. Thank you that you never forget us, thank you that you want us. Open our eyes to see ourselves the way that you see us in Your Son, Jesus Christ. In Jesus name. Amen Lyrics for this song Getting Started Are you running 'round in circles with no place to go? Is there a person in the mirror you don't even know? Someone still sees who you are, yeah Were you the kid that was a dreamer, now you don't believe? Are you the lock that got so broken, now you lost the key? Someone still loves who you are, yeah To anyone who ever lost your way To everyone who ever felt ashamed Here's a song for all the broken hearted I believe you're only getting started To anyone who trusts in Jesus' nam...

I Heard Your Voice

Psalm 23-Beside Still Waters © 2008 Debbie Turner Chavers At times when spending time in God's presence I write poetry, paint art parables, read the bible, or sit and soak in His Peace.  At times I rejoice, making melody in my heart, singing out loud and at times play my tambourine.  There are so many ways to spend time with the LORD.  Make time today, you will be glad you did. I wrote this poem during my study for the art parable "Psalm 23-Beside Still Waters" I Heard Your Voice Beside still waters I heard your voice As a whispered song of love that flowed along. As I traveled a weary road I heard your voice as a crescendo A bubbling brook that refreshed my soul. As I lay to sleep I heard your voice As a wooing song That lapped gently along the edges of my dreams Rowing me home. When my earthly journey is over At the end of my days I want to hear you say "Well done, good and faithful servant." © Debbie Turner Chavers Matthew 25...

A Weighty Matter I eat I am hungry Hungry for answers With questions unasked With issues to large to fill a plate So I eat Trying to fill the emptiness of areas broken With food That will not fill or heal And so I pause Hand mid-air Reaching upward Instead of inward Waiting to be filled. © 2014 Debbie Turner Chavers ...
